SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 713,566, dated. November 11, 1902. Application filed October 17, 1894. Serial No. 526,127- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: The other end of this pivoted lever is pro- Be it known that I, GEORGE S. HILL, of vided witha socketf, closed at one end by Haverhill, in the county of Essex and State of an adjustablescrew and containing a coiled Massachusetts, have invented certain new spring f. h is a vibratory hammer also 5 and useful Improvements in Beading and mounted upon the shaft h by means of ears Turning Machines, of which the following is f which straddle the pivoted lever f (See a specification. top of Fig. 1.)

On this shaft is mounted an ecceniron or inclosed case B, made in two sections 45 tric f upon which fits a sleeve f locked held together by screws 19 and still further upon said eccentric by a screw f and fasby pivots upon which the irons or turningtened through ears f on said sleeve. To fingers s are pivoted, these fingers projectthis sleeve is secured in any desired manner ing from the top of the iron, as shownin Fig. a pitman f, which connects at its upper end 2. These turning-irons are pivoted in the 50 f with one end of a pivoted lever f pivoted same plane at a point intermediate of their upon the shaft h at the top of the frame. two ends. The lower ends 8 of said irons are pivoted at 2f to levers s, which are connected to a common pivot 29 in a sleeve on the end of a vertically-movable rod 3, capable of sliding in lugs 00, secured to the framework of the machine.

s is a pitman provided at one end with a sleeve f mounted on the screw and at its other end provided with a sleeve 40, mounted onda pin projecting from a lug 50, fast on the re s.

From the foregoing it will be seen that upon motion being imparted to the shaft f the rod 8 will be reciprocated vertically, and through the medium of the connecting-levers 5', this will give a rapid to-and-fro motion to the irons or fingers 3 These inserted in a well-known Way in the scallops or other sewed portions of the shoe smooth out the seams. The motion of the shaft also causes reciprocation of the pitman f, and through it motion is communicated to the leverf Now by means of the springs l and f the motion of the lever f imparts to the hammer h a rapid vibratory movement. This arrangement is of particular advantage over a construction which Would impart a solid stroke, such as would happen if the hammer were rigidly connected with the lever, and said arrangement imparts a stroke more nearly approaching that given by a hammer held in a human hand. A guard 'm serves to protect the fingers.

After the shoes have been removed from the irons 3 they are laid upon the anvil and hammered or pounded flat at the points Where the irons have worked, this anvil being adjustable up and down to suit the thickness of the particular material to be operated upon.

Having thus explained the nature of my invention and described a Way of constructing and using the same, though without attempting to set forth all of the forms in which it may be made or all of the modes of its use, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a leather-turning machine, in combination, a pair of laterally-vibrating fingers pivoted intermediate of their ends arranged to vibrate in the same plane, links joining the ends of said fingers to a common pivot a main shaft, and connections including a pitman between said shaft and said pivot t substantially as and for the purpose described- 2. In a leather-turning machine, in combination, a pair of laterally-vibrating fingers pivoted intermediate of their ends arranged to vibrate in the same plane, links joining the ends of said fingers to a common pivot 25 a main shaft provided with a grooved disk, and an adjustable connection including a pitman between said disk and pivot :5 substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. In a leather-turning machine, in combination, a main shaft, a pivoted lever f a hammer connected to said lover, a pivoted lever 71 provided with a cam-slot, an anvil provided with a block arranged in said slot, means for operating said lever h and connections between said shaft and lever-f substantially as and for the purpose described.

4. In a leather-beading machine, in combination, a vibrating hammer, a movable member provided with a cam-slot, and an anvil provided with a block arranged in said slot, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

5. In a leather-beading machine, in combination, a vibrating hammer, an adjustable member provided with a cam-slot, an anvil provided with a block arranged in said slot, and means for retaining said block in any desired adjustment, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 6th day of October, A. D. 1894:.

A. D. HARRISON, RoLLIN ABELL.
